Ghosn’s trial must be separate from Nissan’s to ensure fairness, lawyers argue GlobeBusiness
In this March 12, 2019, file photo, former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn leaves his lawyer's office, in Tokyo.Lawyers for Carlos Ghosn asked a Tokyo court on Tuesday to try the ex-Nissan Motor Co boss separately from his former employer, arguing he would otherwise not get a fair hearing to fight charges of financial wrongdoing.
“No matter how you look at it, having Ghosn sit alongside Nissan at the trial would be peculiar, it would go against his right to a fair trial,” his main defence lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, told a briefing. “It’s right that his lawyers wouldn’t want Ghosn to stand trial with Nissan. Nissan will plead guilty and that would clearly influence the mood of the trial,” said Nobuo Gohara, a lawyer who heads Gohara Compliance and Law Office, which is not involved in the Ghosn case.
Renault has established it paid out millions of euros described as dealer incentives to Omani distributor Suhail Bahwan Automobiles over five years from around 2011, said the sources, who were briefed on the findings.
